In that case, with some of the pilots in AH there should be a frigging supernova when they get popped  :D

LOL...yeah right. Even the forums show great examples of the large number of humble people in AH.  :rofl


If the explosions were according to ego, there would be a nuke going off every minute in every arena.

Forget ego.  Change the explosion according to skill.  Oh never mind the ego people will complain about their explosion being too small.

I think the small explosion needs to go. It's kind of silly.

Plane should start spiraling down just as it does, but with no visual indication that you've received the kill.

Im all like :x when that happens it's almost like getting two kills for me.  Along with when the turret pops off and flies into the air with tanks  :devil.
